Couldn't you make this argument about all endangered species?

I'm just thankful those old cyanobacteria weren't environmentally conscious. None of these modern Eukaryotic species would be around if they hadn't happily 'polluted' the entire planet with oxygen.

We ban accounts that post like this, regardless of how wrong or annoying another comment is. Indeed, you've broken the site guidelines not only by being uncivil, but by feeding a troll. Could you please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not post like this to HN?

The idea here is: if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully; if you don't, please don't comment until you do.

Most endangered species are not clones, they usually have at least some genetic diversity to build on.

Not a clone. Single organism.
